I wonder if that 4.0L I6 would fit in my NA.

Don’t they source their engines from BMW or am I just totally off?

The engine in the Sagaris was made in house. They have used Rover V8s, Cosworth engines, and I think they’ve had a 4 cylinder car. But as far as I know they have never used a BMW motor.

Their Wheeler-era straight sixes were designed in-house but before that they sourced engines from all kinds of companies:

No, they actually built their own inline sixes. I believe they were designed by a certain Al Melling.

I think you’re thinking of Morgan.

From what I’ve seen in images, it’s physically a rather large engine.

That it is, but its the price you pay for almost 400hp from a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder.

You don’t need to convince me, I fully intend to import a Tuscan when they become legal.

So I guess I am crazy.

Of course it will. You don’t really need a firewall or legroom.
